I have 2 sets of these at home, my question is do this mildew and mold up after a few months? both of mine have, its ridiculous for the price to mold.

Yes the mold and mildew build up. The liners ARE machine washable, and that is why I wanted a "back up" liner. My bathroom gets no sun light and that is why there is a problem. I do add OXYCLEAN to the load I wash the liner in. Hope this is helpful.

I haven't had a problem yet, but I also have been washing it every other week to keep it clean; also try leaving the curtain open at each end of your tub/shower to let air flow through, otherwise the curtain remains damp all day.

Mine mold and mildew and turn a disgusting brown/yellowish color at the bottom. I wash it with and without bleach and it doesn't help. I just live with it til it gets to gross for me and get a new one.

Try a Fels Naptha laundry bar. I had one in the house because I have to wash baseball clothes for my son and after throwing my liner in the wash with bleach, it was still very noticeably mildewy. I rubbed it with the bar and scrubbed it and it looked much better after. I've got it in for another heavy wash now and hopefully it'll be even better.

It's not mold- or mildew-proof, though as others have said, if you unsnap it once or twice a month and run it through a hot wash, it should be good to go. I wasn't following this advice for my first liner and after about a year, I had to throw one out and buy a new one. Now I know to wash it every so often. I throw it in the wash with my bath mat, and/or sometimes with the shower curtain itself.

I've only had mine up for a few weeks so I haven't experienced mildew yet. If they are mildewed then take down the snap-in liner and throw it in the washing machine. Also, I've noticed that my shower curtains tend to mold more quickly when I leave the curtain bunched up after a shower. Don't do that. I've used several different types (mildew resistant, PVC, etc...) and they all mildewed horribly. That's why I bought this one for the easy to remove snap-in washable liner.

I am on my second curtain inset! My first lasted about a year with several bleached Washington to get out the mold and mildew

I agree. . . I have the same challenge. I detached the liner and put in in the wash but it still does not come as clean as I'd like to see it. I'm disappointed.

Yes, the liner gets quite disgusting. You can machine wash it with heavy bleach, but it never looks new. Figure on buying a new liner every 6 to 12 months.

Mine do get moldy. Once that happens I toss them out because I haven't found a way to clean them once it starts. Rather than making all of them at once, I made smaller batches so the kids get the chance to keep playing.

I have had these in my tub for over a year and have had NO issues with mold or mildew! They are great! I'm not sure that they are "resistant" but I have had no problems :)

I have only had mine for a few weeks, and no mold yet. The good part about the material is it is washable, and I have had other curtains made by Hookless. Just wash the liner when it gets some soap scum.

I haven't had any issues with mold/mildew. I switched to a mat but my daughter has stuck them to the wall of the shower and still no issues.

I have had some for over six months, usually with one open. I have never found any molding. I have kept both inside and outside the chill box, but with the same good storage results.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.slipxsolutions.com/materials. I have had them since August, and haven't noticed any mold or mildew buildup. Hope this helps you find what you need to know.

I had mine for a year with no mildew. For the price and quality I highly recommend it!

I have never had mold or mildew on mine, probably because we always hang it on the towel bar after each use. However, I think that it could easily be removed with a clorine solution.

I use the racks once a week and have had them for over a year. I haven't had any problems with mold.

Agreed, mold can develop if you let it wet for too long. However, I do recommend this product. Have been using it for some months now and no complains.

I just clean the jug of mine lightly, and the metal bowl part heavily, every time I refill it - which is every couple of weeks. (I have one 11 lb dachshund.) I have not had any problems with mold or mildew with that upkeep. I used a filter at first, but don't bother anymore.

I'm not pleased with mine. I had more than a few refuse to seal no matter what I did. I'm in a desert so I don't know about mold/mildew.

I posted that I had mold on some. Since then, the company sent me three boxes, and Amazon replaced the box. I haven't had any mold on the new ones. I also have to add that the company was very responsive They wanted to know exactly where the mold was (on the fig or wheat part) and the expiration date. I love them so much that I will continue purchasing them. The Amazon price is awesome!

I never had any problems with Mold and Mildew, but I did use those little balls that you can purchase for this unit. My biggest problem was that it left a white, chalky feeling coating on all surfaces within 3 ft. of the unit. It would take too much distilled H2O to got that route. I stopped using it.

I haven't noticed mold per say, but it does seem to deteriorate over time. This oil will also solidify when it's too cold, but becomes liquid again when it warms up. In the winter I place it in hot water.

I have only used it 7 times so far and have not seen any mold issues so far. However I can see now mold can occur after prolonged use if the steam is blocked. I imerge the bamboo pot in my stainless steel pot with water but i do not cover the stainless steel pot to allow the steam to escape.
